Gertrude begged her relatives to take her in, but when she revealed the name of her illness, they berated her. They made her the household drudge, telling her never to touch their food or their cooking pots. They gave her a bowl and a spoon strictly for her own use. After a few months, they threw...
...move that has been both hailed and decried, the Tampa Bay police department used the occasion of Super Bowl XXXV to conduct a high-tech surveillance experiment on its unsuspecting guests.

While I still stand behind the old staples like the Super Bowl and March Madness, and almost never get off the couch during the Olympics, I admit I eagerly anticipate Temptation Island and Survivor because those shows provide better competition most days than your average NBA game...
